An area doctor has published a book geared to helping solve sinus and middle ear infections "the natural way."

Dr. Lon Jones of Plainview, billed as "America's country doctor and practitioner of commonsense medicine," shows readers in his 138-page book, "No More Allergies, Asthma, or Sinus Infections," how to cure themselves of allergies, sinus problems and other upper respiratory conditions.

"It's as simple as keeping your nose clean," Jones said.

According to a press release, "Dr. Jones' proven method using nasal xylitol also helps prevent children's ear infections and cavities. His natural solution is ideal for parents wanting to cut down on their children's use of antibiotics and other allergy drugs such as antihistamines and decongestants.

"An expert in family medicine, Dr. Jones is internationally known for his initiatory work in nasal xylitol in the upper airways."

A 30-year veteran in healthcare, Jones is an osteopathic board-certified family physician who was associated with Hi-Plains Hospital and Clinic in Hale Center.
